Abstract

 This research clarified the development process of Tianjin's Original British Concession from 1860 until about 1900. It was designed by Charles George Gordon, and many commercial facilities were located there. The result of my research shows the roads in the area were built without any consideration of the existing roads. Many commercial facilities were created later, and the companies at that time made some wharfs and piers. A German called Detring, the chairman of the Council, built some public facilities. And many products of the Self-Strengthening Movement such as academies and a railway were constructed in the outskirts of the Original British Concession including the opposite bank of Pei Ho River depicted on the map of 1888. It is obvious that the Original British Concession and its surroundings became a place where Western technique and culture were accepted and even imitated by Chinese locals.
